Za'Darius Smith Posts Instagram Looking Forward to 2020 Season Matchup Against Drew Brees and Saints

While New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is doing everything he can to minimize the blowback from his controversial comments regarding protests during the National Anthem, his apology on Instagram hasn't totally smoothed things over with the rest of the NFL.

Green Bay Packers pass rusher Za'Darius Smith is already eyeing his chance to exact some revenge on Brees in the form of a game-changing sack. He'll get his chance when the Packers roll into New Orleans for a Sunday Night football matchup against the Saints in Week 3.

The Packers pass rush, which also includes the reliable Preston Smith and promising second-year stud Rashan Gary, was tough to deal with before these comments, but this added motivation is sure to have Smith's motor running hot all night long.

Brees' comments are in stark contrast to that of Aaron Rodgers, Smith's future Hall of Fame quarterback, as he claimed that Colin Kaepernick and those protesting police brutality have never based their movement around disrespecting the flag or the country.
